Russia-Iceland Ties Strained as Embassy Operations Suspended

Ukrainian military reports heavy fighting in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, with 28 combat clashes and 15 strikes by Ukrainian Air Force on Russian Army concentration points. Ukrainian rocket and artillery fire struck several control points and troop concentrations, with reports of civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. Ukrainian counteroffensive operations are underway, with Russian forces suffering heavy losses. Meanwhile, flooding caused by the destruction of the Kakhovka dam on the Dnieper River has led to the shutdown of Europe's largest nuclear plant and cut off over 10,000 residents from the rest of Ukraine.
